Shawn's Mad Money Review

2008 Movie #7 - Mad Money

You know, I really don't have anything much to say about this movie. I went into it thinking it would be terrible and sure enough, it ended up being terrible. It's not funny, the characters are one dimensional, boring and often times irritating, the plot isn't interesting in the slightest (which is not a good thing for what is supposed to be kind of a caper movie), and it just kind of plods along until the end, boring the shit out of you the entire time. Even with the other reviews for movies I didn't like I managed to write a decent chunk of text about them, but for this one I really don't think I can. I guess it ties into my theory that my reviews are going to get shorter and shorter as time goes on. Well I have to write something, so here's 10 other things you could spend 10 dollars on that would be a better investment than a ticket for this movie.

1. Get your 10 dollars made into very small change, put it all in a kiddy pool and then roll around in it
2. Download Bubble Bobble on the Wii...if you don't own a Wii, pay someone 10 bucks to steal you one
3. Buy the Rambo 3 DVD and watch shit get fucked
4. Purchase an exacto knife and jam it into your eye
5. Buy a ticket for Cloverfield, even if you don't want to watch it, it deserves your money way more than this recycled piece of shit
6. Buy 10 dollars worth of Reeses Pieces cuz god damn them shits is good
7. Get a lock and use it to lock yourself in your house forever since if you want to go out and pay money to watch this movie, you should be sealed away from the rest of society
8. Buy 10 dollars worth of scratch tickets. Use any money won to make a better movie than Mad Money. Trust me it won't be hard.
9. Give it to charity....nope, no joke here.
10. Buy an old Fresh Prince CD and realize just how far Will Smith has come...or better yet buy a Will Smith CD and realize why he probably stopped releasing CDs

There, 10 things you could spend your money on that would be a far better decision than seeing this movie. Is it the worse movie I've seen so far in 2008? Yes I think so. Sure In the Name of the King was terrible but at least I could make fun of it in parts. This one is just tragic. It is a fucking tragedy.

0/5


In Addition : Since this is a movie blog I would just like to take a brief moment to pay my respects to the late Heath Ledger. He was a great actor and it's terrible that he is gone at such a young age. He had a bright future ahead of him and his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight looked like it was going to really do great things for him. He was one of the best young actors out there and it's crushing to know that this is how it's ended.
